Some 120 US, and 30 British Soldiers have died during the war. Via the AP, the Mercury News has the story of just one of them.

Edward Jason Korn came to live at the Bethesda Home for Boys in 1984 as a troubled 12-year-old suffering through his father's second divorce.
The rambunctious youth spent five years attending school and working the farm on Bethesda's 500-acre campus overlooking the Moon River, and grew up to be an Army captain. He came back for the last time Wednesday, in a flag-draped casket bound for Arlington National Cemetery.
"As an early teen, Jason had some growing up problems, discipline problems," said the soldier's father, Dick Korn, who insisted the funeral be held here. "If it wasn't for this place, he wouldn't have become the man he was."
Korn, 31, of Savannah was killed Apr. 3 in Iraq while inspecting the wreckage of an Iraqi tank. He was shot by U.S. soldiers who mistook him for an Iraqi fighter.

"I don't hold them in any blame. I love them and I don't want their minds to be casualties of this as well," Korn's father said. "I'm a Vietnam veteran and I've been in some very nasty situations. I probably would have made the same call they made."

Captain Korn won a Bronze Star in the first Gulf War, and volunteered to go back with his unit. Read the whole article. (Hat tip to Aby Normal). The Savannah Morning News has more about Captain Korn's life. He'll be missed.
